The problem here is that openjade can't tell where you have the DSSSL
Style Sheet installed.

You can get them (if you don't have them yet installed) from
ftp://ftp.gtk.org/pub/gtk/v1.1/docs/rdp/gtk-doc-extra-0.1.tar.gz.
This is not listed in the gnome package list (I guess that's because
most distributions install them?) I had them, but most gtk-doc
documentation seems to be using a rather old version of the DocBook
stylesheets, so I had to go and install this gtk-doc-extra package
anyway.

Once you install that (this is a not a configure;make;make install
package: just untar it and copy everything to, say;
/your_gnome_prefix/share/;, and then say

  export SGML_CATALOG_FILES=/your_gnome_prefix/share/gtk-doc-extra-0.1/sgml.catalog

While you are at this, you might download other docbook dsssl files I
did need when compiling other parts of gnome (the Norman Walsh
stylesheets) if you don't have them yet. They're available from
http://docbook.sourceforge.net/projects/dsssl/
You untar this, put it somewhere, and add the catalog file which sits in
the top directory to the SGML_CATALOG_FILES (which is a : separated list
of OASIS-style SGML catalogs)

Hope this helps, (This pointers might be added to GNOME's install
guide?)
